nine’s blogroll.

@becomestorm​   /   this is they, “ you are here ”, canon - div dragon faunus ren from r/wby, my favourite emotionally stunted scalie, this is where i’m logged in most often   /   ren’s blog is also attached to @volarent​ recently pruned multi for characters like li, velvet, and test muses like maria, and shopkeep.   /   main, sorta active.

@ephmrele​   /   beautiful, fantastic, mesmerising, once again slightly canon - div blake from r/wby, my cat daughter ex - terrorist, ex - assassin, wanderlust prone goth gf with a penchant for running away but always coming back to those who matter.   /   low activity.

@valianse​   /   it’s honestly just safer to assume all my canon muses are canon - div at this point but here he is, jaune of r/wby, my guilt - complex ridden knight with religious trauma, sliding up the chaotic scale from keeping cheese sticks in his hoodie pocket to faking transcripts and probably tax evasion.   /   low activity.

@vulpesd​   /   another muse with a penchant for chaos, fox of r/wby is a smart - mouthed desert - born warrior whose interests include podcasts, eating fried worms, long walks on the beach, and kicking in the teeth of anyone who dares to underestimate him. he’s also a sagittarius.   /   low activity.

@rtrograde​   /   bastard   …   i was very tempted to leave it at just that. if you want someone maimed, humiliated, poisoned, traumatised, made fun of, gaslit, kidnapped, impeded, doxxed, jeopardised, intimidated, or harassed via online bullying, then mercury of r/wby, is your guy. he can also read your natal chart.   /   low activity.

@tempestial​   /    zhen’s a dragon shifter oc still heavily under construction. a former celestial and manifestation of the dragon zodiac, zhen was punished eons ago for transgressions against the gods and was cursed to reincarnate over and over again. say “ yolo” to him, he’ll snap all your tendons.   /   semi - active.

@komoryd​​   /    riku k/ingdom h/earts is a huge call out for my weakness to characters with guilt complexes and knight motifs ( sited above, jaune ) and is the embodiment of someone who desperately wants to cover up their emo days, because while some tantrums lead to blasting mcr at top volume, riku’s blew up an entire planet.   /   low activity.

so, i didn’t get responses on that romance meme but i really wanted to answer some, so i’m going to do it anyway.

fox’s recipient love language is a mix between physical touch and quality time. fox’s abandonment issues make physical touch the higher on the priority list than quality time. while fox can be rather clingy with an s/o, it’s also not that hard to give them space. his love isn’t fragile, and while he’d prefer a non - long distant relationship, that isn’t the lifestyle he signed up for. if his love interest was constantly telling him to stop touching them or had an aversion to the casual way fox touches people, as he is a very tactile person, his romantic interest in them would dwindle.

fox’s giving love language is also physical touch but also words of affirmation. though fox seems scary, and intimidating, and snarky, he’s actually a very good listener, very positive, and can be very affectionate. he doesn’t tend to hold back on saying what he’s thinking, whether that’s trough his semblance or not. while this also means that isn’t going to hold back when he’s angry, it also means that he’s not going to hold back on compliments, praise, encouragements. he’ll be your personal hype team. while not quite there yet, fox’s emotional state is pretty damn healthy, making him a good presence to be around when you need companionship.

Yatsu listened patiently to what Fox was saying. If there was one thing he was extremely good at regardless of his own mood or situation, it was listening to other people talk about their problems. He smiled gently at Fox’s impression of Headmaster Theodore, but he also knew how serious the conversation was, so he didn’t let it stay on his face for long. < Maybe they don’t know that you hate your tribe. > He offered. It wasn’t a great response, sure, but it was the best he could do at that moment. < I mean, have you told anyone outside of us that you didn’t like your tribe? > They weren’t mind readers, after all, so if they didn’t know, of course they’d keep bringing it up. Especially since Vacuo was so fixated on connection and loyalty to tribes.

<     how did he even find out i’m from kenyte anyway ?     >     he kicked boots up against the dusty cobblestone beneath them, bringing up with it a little sandstorm. while he appreciated yatsu’s rationale he could do with the guy not taking everything so seriously all the time. fox was miffed, he’d get over it. that was the way of life. he wasn’t used to being in a bad mood, didn’t deal with it very well.     <     ew, yatsu. talkin’ about feelings is gross.     >     it’s a clear jest. he’d even poked out his tongue childishly to complete the statement, though the faux cheer didn’t last very long. fox would have laughed at that line of thought. they certainly weren’t mind readers, maybe that’s why fox forgot so often.     <     yeah, but telling people y’ hate your tribe often leads to them askin’ why.     >     and fox had never really told anyone why he disliked kenyte, at least no one still alive.

Velvet nodded. She was certain that he understood the situation-given that they were both Faunus. At his question, though, she beamed and shifted slightly to face him more head on. “Oh! I know a really interesting one. Maybe not as interesting as yours but still pretty interesting, at least I think so. 75% of the world’s diet is produced from just 12 plant and five different animal species.” She wasn’t sure if he’d find that interesting, but she thought it was when she heard about it.

upon hearing the fact, fox couldn’t help but let out an amused huff of laughter, followed by a good natured,     ‘     you are so cute. i mean it figures given how much of a nerd y’ are that your surprise fact is a statistic.     ’     he blew a strand of unruly hair from his face. lying down on the cobblestones benches was starting to do his back in.     ‘     okay, another one. this one trips me up because the ocean is already terrifying, but can you believe we’ve only seen five percent of it ? that’s messed.     ’

#lotusesque.

     pursed lips relaxed some, and rèn eyed vulpine with a tinge of suspicion. he considered fox’s first words, rolling them over his tongue to really pick apart the intention behind the older boy’s response. when fox added his final comment, however, brows furrowed in confusion; lotus was so used to being talked over by now that it had become second nature to just let it happen. he’d fallen into some twisted habit of guarding himself with an apology, therefore avoiding any prickling pain that might stem from being shut down. as he watched fox for a moment, rèn bit the inside of his lip and then spoke in return. “then i take it back,” voice calm, assertive, determined. he swallowed down the viscous feeling of nervousness. “if you like my voice so much, apology rescinded.”

‘     attaboy.     ’     fox encouraged, hand clapping down on ren’s shoulder. his aura looked a little clearer now. it’s not as if he hadn’t noticed, the way ren was talked over would have had fox snapping in frustration, even though he didn’t tend to say much ( outside of teamspeak that is. ) vulpine boy did tend to make a lot of smartass quips, but he was also a good listener too. also, to hear ren speak in a tone like that one did something to him that he didn’t quite notice before, something about the assured tone his measure of confidence, even when fox knew it was a “ fake it ‘til you make it ” gesture, had eyes widening for a moment, a floret of colour blooming across his cheeks.     ‘     you should speak like that more. i swear, people will listen.     ’

Yatsu stopped when he felt Fox tug on his hand, and looked over his shoulder at his teammate. He blinked when he heard Fox’s voice in his head. Not because he was shocked to hear it-teamspeak was the norm for Team CFVY, even when they weren’t on a mission-but because of what he said. He lowered himself down a little to be at the same height as Fox and placed a hand on his shoulder. < I’m sorry, Fox. > He said sincerely, though he noticed with some satisfaction He wasn’t a violent person, but hearing that they’d been talking about Fox’s tribe made him want to track them down and figure out why they would be talking about his tribe. < Is there anything I can do to help? >

<     nah just ... the way people ‘ve been talking about the tribe lately makes me feel antsy.     >     yatsu’s gentle hand was a definite comfort, despite the fact that he’d been the one who was being snappy. he didn’t deserve that. fox knew he usually acted as a comic relief for his team, someone that could pull them out of their heads when they sunk too far into the sand, but maybe the responsibility of being the team’s shoddy radio during missions was starting to wear on him.     <     i’ve been thinkin’ about what theodore said. “ fox alistair of kenyte ” —     >     he rolled his eyes, makes a mocking impression of the headmaster he so far had no reason to dislike. it was definitely the headache prompting him to act a brat.     <     i hated my tribe. that’s why i left. why do they have to keep bringing it up ?     >

      her  previous  movements  may  have  been  enough  to  ward  off  the  smaller  stragglers   ,   but  blake  quickly  assesses  that  it ‘ ll  take  more  than  mere  gunfire  to  halt  the  bigger  threat  lurking  in  the  sands.  another  round  of  bullets   ,   this  time  ice   ,   fired  in  rapid  succession  at  the  belly  of  their  foe  in  an  attempt  to  slow  it  down   ,   give  it  less  room  atop  the  desert  surface   &.  no  sooner  does  it  dive  back  down  for  what  blake  can  only  imagine  as  an  ambush  attack.  she  can  feel  the  vibrations  below  her  feet   ,   distancing  herself  from  fox  for  what  she  knows  what  will  be  the  inevitable.  they  always  come  at  the  ones  who  pissed  it  off  the  most.  the  taijitu  lunges  forth   &.   rips  its  fangs  into  her  belly   ,   only  to  be  met  with  a  shadow  in  her  place   &.   a  blake  who  dims  her  aura  immediately  after  to  make  herself  harder  to  track.  she ‘ s  launched  herself  into  the  air   ,   readying  a  downwards  spinning  attack  in  which  the  force  is  only  amplified  by  the  way  blake  shoots  in  the  opposite  direction   &.   uses  the  pistol ‘ s  recoil  to  her  advantage.  muscle  memory  drives  her  still   ,   so  -  much  -  so  that  blake  (  unfortunately  )  forgets  how  heavily  reliant  on  aura  seeking  her  partner  is   ,   even  when  she  calls  out  through  his  psychic  link.  <  aim  for  the  head   !   >   she  lands  flat  on  the  ground  once  her  attack  lands   ,   tossing  gambol  out   &.   coiling  it  around  their  foes  neck  to  momentarily  immobile  it.  if  they  can  at  least  stun  this  annoying  snake   ,   then  they  just  might  have  a  better  chance. 

snakes have bad vision. it was quite literally the only thing that made fighting gargantuan snakes any less scary than it sounded. it definitely didn’t make it any easier. when you felt some kind of kinship for the rabid beast, you end up realising why it was so dangerous. blake’s bullets were doing little to impede it’s speed, but at least when it was underground fox could “see” it better. small insects buried beneath them made way like a blade slicing the sand sea clean through, the grimm marked by a clear “absence of thought” an absence of aura which made up most of their living world. his movements even followed the path of the taijitu’s assension, noticing seconds too late that he’d lost track of blake’s bright ringing call spurred him into action. the realisation of panic comes afterward, like blade of ice spearing clean through his chest, but he had no time to reflect on how horrifying a thought had just passed through his mind. within seconds he’d zeroed in on the deafening hiss, breaking through the surface with a stinging spray of sand. the familiar sound of gambol’s tether rung clear amidst the great snake’s thrashing, and blade’s glinted red in the dying sun as the as aura - strengthened blow embedded tonfas into the taijitu skull. with a click, and a deafening boom his close - range firearms blasted the grimm’s head to pieces, covering fox in smoking ichor as he tried to steady his footing while the other end of the snake thrashed dangerously.     ‘     one down, belladonna. we’ve got this.     ’

vulpine was a ball of excitable energy, greeting shopkeep’s familiar welcoming grunt with fang - toothed grin as he pulled up one of the stools, rubbing his hands together excitedly.     ‘     jalfrezi and a garlic naan, boss. i’ve been lookin’ forward to this all day.     ’     he left his lien on the counter where he knew shopkeep would eventually swipe it up, head tilting curiously as he heard the slide of paper from the person next to him. they were the only two people besides shopkeep there right now, and though fox could sense someone’s hazy outline with his semblance, he wasn’t particularly getting anything else from the one reading.

keeping to himself, nails tapped excitedly over the wooden surface. their mission had gone really well the day before, extra credit assignments during vytal were a drag but at least it kept them busy between rounds. fox had passed out and woken up just in time for a festival food breakfast, and they weren’t skimping out on vacuo - mistrali dishes like they had last year. instinct still nagged at the back of his mind though, focusing on where he’d heard the slide of paper before actually looking at the person next to him and inquiring, curiously.

‘     y’ want something ?     ’

@vulpesd​ | starter

hush open and propped against her shoulder, noire exited the stadium amongst the crowd. the four of them had won their match easily, laughably so. it had been a while since she fought for pure enjoyment. cinder had said that the four of them would need to discuss future plans, but neo never bothered with attending. the others seemed to make plans just fine without her. besides, the fairgrounds reminded her of mistral, the constant talking and people moving reminiscent of the night markets, and a smile grew on her face at the familiarity.

her thoughts drift back to the other matches in the festival as she walked up to the ‘curry up’ food stand. she spared an unelegant snort at the pun. none of the other matches had been interesting. neo seats herself at the stand, ordering a bowl and drumming her fingers on the table. movement next to her breaks her concentration, neo glancing towards the other. she hadn’t paid attention to the other matches, but this one did look like one of the kids in CFVY. she shrugs, writing out a question on a note and sliding it over to fox. no use betting on whether they knew sign language or not.

’  hey, you’re fox, right? part of CFVY or whatever. how’d your match go?  ’

vulpine would always be grateful for familiarity, in any form. none so was more welcome than the familiar bell - like chime of someone he loved walked back into his life. none had captured his attention quite like the phoenix did too, with laughter like sweet spiced wine to easy to get drunk off of. fox had known they were a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the battlefield, maybe it’s because of that he fell into rhythm with her immediately down to the very timing of their boots hitting cobblestone floors. fox and yang had always run along the same wavelength. so when she looped her arm in his and started taking them to destinations unknown he’d already committed to following her. he probably hadn’t had anything important to do prior, not if he couldn’t remember it before she’d arrived. she’d always had that effect on him, huh ? chalk it up to a little friendly crush.

‘      they’re keepin’ on.      ’      he sighed dramatically, arm in hers clinging just that little bit more for emphasis.     ‘     y’know, it is so burdensome being the funniest, the strongest, and most handsome member of my team, but we make do.     ’     oh they joked about fox’s humorous side being that of a hidden jewel amongst desert ruins, but that is how he came across to most. leave it to someone like yang to dig far enough to find it.     ‘     we’ve handled a few messes with conspiracy theorists in the last few years. some of ‘em had shit to do with what went down in beacon, but we can get to that later.     ’     there was a lot to unpack in the time they had together, he didn’t need to bring them down from the get go.     ‘     y’know solitas’ borders might’a been closed, but we do get the odd sneaky merchant or two. heard rumours about your ragtag bunch wreakin’ havok up there. i should be askin’ how you’re doing.     ’

Fox: I wasn't listening, but I strongly disagree.

[vulpesd]

fox + semblance trigger.

this is something i’ve been meaning to jot down for a while. the main headcanon is under the disco conversation, i just needed to throw it in here for extra clarity.

∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ 04/04/2020 [21:51] there’s this one scene in atf where fox is using a compass in order to track someone through the desert right [21:53] even though it was on his scroll, it reminded me of this factoid i’d learned where foxes actually use gravitational pull of true north or earth’s magnetic waves in order to hunt their prey right [21:54] wait, lemme find it [21:54] https://earthsky.org/earth/foxes-use-earths-magnetic-field-to-jump-on-prey-earthsky.org foxes are the first animals thought to use earth’s magnetic field to judge distance, not just direction. [21:55] and i was thinking, if real foxes can do that, why not just make fox a fox faunus so he can do that without a scroll ? [21:56] and i know that is to some degree compensating for his disability, but i don’t think it really changes much in regard to making his life 100 percent easier / it just gives him a sixth sense of where due north is [21:57] and it’s not like his own semblance doesn’t make up for the fact that he can still track people with remarkable ease, or that he doesn’t face difficult challenges when he can’t use it either [21:58] if one of his teammate’s breaks their aura, or if fox runs out of it he’s at a significant disadvantage [21:58] he almost died in atf because there was someone who could block semblances nearby [21:59] plus fox has significant trauma surrounding feeling a teammate or loved one break their aura which he needs to get over [22:00] he is so used to being able to talk to someone mentally, and feeling that mind connection snap because that person’s died, whether it be by grimm, or the desert, or an assailant [22:01] i mean, he’s not used to it, it still sends him into panic [22:02] it’s actually worse when that person is anticipating their death, because fox can’t find it in himself to break that connection so he can’t hear anymore / because he doesn’t want that person to be alone [22:03] holy shit i need to write this down — [22:23] i think that might be one of the only times to see fox truly vulnerable? because when someone doesn’t have any aura, it’s hard for him to “see” them with his sense, it’s hard for him to find them, and it’s one of the only times he feels truly helpless, when he can’t aid the people he loves? [22:24] fox is so resilient, and he’s a magnificent survivor with an iron will / but the thing is that that he left vacuo so he could find something to survive for and nothing matters to fox more than the connections he makes [22:24] so when they snap, he goes into panic mode [22:25] sometimes, when fox wakes up and he’s disoriented from a nightmare, he’ll murmur something like “i can’t see, i can’t see” but he’s not actually talking about his sight [22:25] he’s talking about losing a loved one, because he can’t sense their aura anymore — [22:37] like, fox knows he’s is capable and he is the last one to underestimate someone’s abilities but that mind connection forcibly snapping is his only trigger [22:38] it has a different physical effect on him rather than if a person just decided to close their mind off [22:40] it’s like ??? i guess, shutting something down before an update, or pulling out a memory stick before data is finished transferring / you have the capability to fuck up whatever data was being sent across and fox can feel that corruption in his bones [22:41]god this like, really helped with me solidifying his semblance stuff and looking at it in new ways — [23:02] fghj this is hurting my heart [23:03] i think i might’ve said it before, but this really is one of the only times that fox can be seen vulnerable ?? normally he’s so solid and mellow and in a good mood / bad stuff is sometimes water off a duck’s back yknow, but it’s so rare to see him shaken ??

tl;dr — fox is one of the characters in the show who has been canonically written to be able to sense and monitor how much aura someone has left without looking at someone’s scroll. his ability to sense someone else’s aura, and through that connection their mind, has become essential to how he navigates the world.

fox’s capabilities when it comes to connecting to people through the mind is a lot more than simple telepathy. in atf, when he was rid of his assistive dialogue program on his scroll he had to use his semblance to metaphorically “see through someone else’s [edward’s] eyes” / it’s more than a mind link! in my headcanons, fox will eventually come to feel what other people are feeling too as they are very closely associated with someone’s thought process. the more familiarity fox has with someone, the more he might even be able to feel physical sensations.

so what happens when someone that fox is familiar with dies? in the middle of having their minds telepathically linked? fox feels their agony and fear. he has felt the last words and thoughts and feelings of someone who has perished. the mental link snaps and it feels almost physical as if fox has died alongside them. and so —

when someone is linked to fox telepathically, and their aura shatters? it can be triggering for fox. depending on his stress level, how much aura he has, how many people are around to gather intel from? it can send him into the kind of panic that not many people have witnessed before. if fox can’t find that person physically and hear their voice or touch them, and basically confirm they aren’t dead then his panic will steadily rise.

the only reason that fox left vacuo was to establish long lasting bonds, and for a mental snap to hurt that much that fox goes into a panic ( which he never does because fox tends to stay calm in high stress situations ), he has to have cared about that person very very much.

@kintsgi​   ›   unscripted   (   always acc.   )

he could still remember the first time he’d been paired with blake on missions. during his last year at shade he wasn’t sure how they’d match up, she as someone who utilised the environment best, and fox who sometimes needed someone to guide him through whatever a.d.a. couldn’t see. who would have known they’d eventually synchronise with such harmony ? a symphony of desert and shadow built in a crescendo to form the perfect take downs. she was so clear now, his mind could form her silhouetted aura if he tried hard enough. still, this was blake, and her form had never been without the mysterious smoky texture, the shadowy caress as soft and lethal as belladonna flowers. maybe that could have scared him once upon time, but now it just made vulpine boy fall in love again and again and again. it was difficult to not be awed when familiarly could make the flicker of blake’s form almost visible, how her use of aura made the flashing ribbons of deep purple an artwork all of their own.

in a fight they’re lethal   —

ada was in one ear, and blake the other. he could tell apart the real one just barely, sensing the well of aura that was deeper than her clones, following the echo of her thoughts with his mind, the sound of her voice, watching for where she cushioned her footsteps, or where she didn’t to reveal the noise.   ‘   with you around, bright eyes   ?   ’   she’d told him their colour once upon a time ; an eye like the clearest sky, and one like the sun. oh he’d never longed to see the expression in them so much as when she taunted him like this, as if she was unburdened and free, playing with fire that was the shower of sparks between their blades.   ‘   never.   ’   the ruins that they fight amongst stand tall even amidst the clash of katana and tonfa, laying witness to the elegant dance between cat and fox, trading knives like children did cards, with the bright gleaming grin of a star - crossed tryst. eventually when they do call spar quits, belladonna’s current win could be heard in a cocky little strut, and it’s then that vulpine snags blake’s waist to pull her into a heated kiss. like this he could pretend that he hadn’t actually lost.

around each other,   they melt.
